Even though large tracts of the 'net and many old and famous sites have fallen or may fall into the grip of the ad industry and all the odious apparatus of ad tech, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight on the web, we shall fight on the browsers and apps, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the routers, we shall defend our privacy and sanity, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on our phones, we shall fight on PCs, we shall fight in the OS space and in the repositories, we shall fight in the internet of things; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this project or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our users beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the power of free software, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new decentralised 'net, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
